bug importing image sequence

[max meier]

maybe the problem is already solved but what i found out is this:

when the first image number is >100 then it shows INVALID in the preview, starting at 99 is working fine (I imported >1900 images 1920x1080)

(i'm working with ubuntu10.04 OpenShot version 1.1.3)

[DFOXpro (dfoxpro)]

i also have this bug and this is not a low importance bug, i need to use pyrename tool to avoid this bug, anyway this is really annoying this bug

[phil (fongpwf)]

This should at least be documented in the release notes or somthing. It took me a bit to find out this was the problem with my image sequence.

[Otavio Carneiro (ocarneiro)]

This bug seems to have been fixed in previous versions but came back in 1.4.0 (see bug #424988).

The workaround I'm using is the following shell command:
for a in DSC*.JPG; do b=${a:4:4};mv $a $((b-4321)).jpg; done

It makes "DSC04322.JPG" into "1.jpg" by extracting the number part and subtracting 4321 from it. It's a bit of a hack, but works for me. If you want to try it out, please back up your files and be sure to know what you're doing before you run it.

[Olivier Girard (eolinwen)]

Update to the 1.4.3 and try again. And tell us if this issue is always
present.

Sorry it took me a while to test...

I have updated Openshot to 1.4.3 and MLT with the ppa's provided. Actually, libmlt++3 and melt were kept in the current versions (libmlt++3 0.7.6+git20120204-2 and melt 0.7.6+git20120204-2), but libmlt-data was updated to libmlt-data 0.8.8-ubuntu0~sunab~precise1. I'm using ubuntu 12.04 lts 64-bit.

The error is still there. It says "Invalid" and doesn't play the image sequence.

[Olivier Girard (eolinwen)]

You must remove this old part of MLT. For that, i suggest to remove with
synaptic and the option purge completely MLT. Obviously, Openshot will be
removed. Once time you have done that, check always with synaptic if you
have any residue of MLT and after if all is okay, install openshot.
Normally, all should be come back perfect.

[Otavio Carneiro (ocarneiro)]

I have tried purging MLT and Openshot and then installing the new versions of both. I now have:
- melt, libmlt++3, libmlt-data, libmlt5 and python-mlt5 are all in version 0.8.8-0ubuntu0~sunab~precise1
- openshot in version 1.4.3-1

Unfortunately, the bug is still there...

Thanks again for the patience.
Otavio

[Olivier Girard (eolinwen)]

Hum I would like to be sure that you don't have any residue of old version of MLT. Normally, if all has been removed correctly that should work fine.
As I'm on my development system (and as I've not the official version with MLT installed=< I've got another :-) ) I can't test several commands. and I don't remember them flawlessly. Neverless we will proceed differently.

Using synaptic could you make a search called libmlt/mlt and take a screenshot with a solftware like shutter or hotshot. After, you put it on a website like Imagur and copy paste the link here. I don't think that you can put the screenshot here directly.

This MLT bug installation are very annoying. Soon, with Libopenshot, we won't have it.

[Olivier Girard (eolinwen)]

Sorry Otavio for the delay but I'm a bit buzy with OpenShot QT.

I've take a look at your images and all seems to be okay for me.

Try to desactive/active the option use smooth scaling int the first tab of
Preferences. Its could help you but all is not sure.

Could you give more explanations about your image sequence ?

[Volker Racho (volker-k)]

I also have this bug on 1.4.3. Is there a workaround? I cannot import image files from my gopro camera as the filenames are like G0010013.JPG.

[Theo Barker (theo-barkerz)]

Bad Idea making this low. I just installed Ubuntu Studio 14.04 x64 clean, and OpenShot Image Sequences are unusable due to this. It took me a couple of hours to determine what the problem was. Don't add new functionality until you're sure your existing functionality actually works!

[Marco Roepers (y-marco)]

 My GOPRO camera named the image sequence from G0010172.JPG up to G0010570.JPG "Invalid" Openshot said . I couldne figure out a way for batch renaming these files. So i doing this by hand now :-(. I hope I find a way to handle the way the Gopro is naming its images, otherwise it could be my last image sequence project. (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. OpenShot 1.4.3)

[Mads Boserup Lauritsen (madsbola)]

@ Marco:
I found this guide to do different step by step to rename in Terminal, just follow it line by line, and you wont regret you bought a GoPro... :-)

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21541009/how-to-rename-multiple-files-in-terminal-linux

Just do one line at a time in terminal when you are in the current directory for your files.

n=1
for i in *.jpg; do
    p=$(printf "%04d.jpg" ${n})
    mv ${i} ${p}
    let n=n+1
done

[Marco Roepers (y-marco)]

I found a workaround using pyRenamer. I am very glad with this tool.

[Craig Skipsey (cmskipsey)]

This bug is definitely still happening - i can't import gopro images for my kids animation projects. Super frustrating... what can I do to help?

Using eOS Loki and OpenShot 1.4.3 installed via eOS app center
